I am contemplating will I WILL build a 13000l koi pond soon but I do live in a sectional title complex. Please bear in mind I am in a cluster and have no houses joined to me at all. What is the legislation around this?

I went to the Western Cape Koi Show on Sunday.

In the Kingsview koi farm's vat i saw 2 Nisai Shiro Utsuri with big sized and strong head shape, but it's only a pitty that the tail tube is not strong enough.

I would like to ask, do anyone know anything about Kingsview koi farm?

Thanks

My question is, how come i never saw any local breeder who breed red kujaku? Is it because the SA koi hobbyist prefer ornange and yellow kujaku rather than red kujaku? But for myself, i prefer red kujaku more than orange kujaku. I would love to hear your comments.

It is always a battle to get hold of the correct reducers. 50 mm should be the standard. But almost every manufacturer of filters and UV's use different sizes. Speck pumps could always be installed easily with 50 mm pipes. Now they have decided to increase the connections to 63 mm. Bought a new Speck pump yesterday.
